Feeble Attempts

    (Top Shelf, 2007)
™ and © 2007 Jeffrey Brown

Feeble Attempts collects a hodge-podge set of short comics by Jeffery Brown. Much of what appears here has been previously published in magazines such as Blood Orange, McSweeney’s, and the Chicago Reader, and Brown has finally collected these works together in one volume. Brown’s loose black and white style matches his off-beat sense of humor and observation, and even the most mundane little tale comes to life. This collection is filled with Brown’s indelible self-deprecating humor and a few autobiographical stories, as well as what appears to be a few pages from his sketchbook when he was a child.
